Paying For Money And
Gelting Cheated.

The love Of money is said to e
the root Of all evil. So great is that
love in u majority of cases, tina, al.
most any price is paid for it. We
propose briefly to discuss the matter
and show that money, like other
things, is often bought too dearly.
When a man in pursuit Of wealth
sacrifices moral principle in order to
insure success, lie GETs CHEATED.
When he pursues a business, how
ever remuneraiive, which he know S
is undermining his health, nK .K1 S
CHEATED.
Wien he habitually devotcs So
many hours to labor that he has TO
time to give to his family aud friends,
to reading, mental Or moral culture,
HE GIFTS CHEATED.
When he makes money by rum.
selling, or any other traffic which
works mischief in the community,
lie GETS CHEATED.
When he Ignores all outside mat
ters," and is determined to mike
money anyhow, leaving religion, pol.
itics, friends, benevolent objects, and
"everybody to take care Of them
selves, HE GIFTS CHEATED.
When he finds making money in
his fashion excludes him from the SO.
ciety of all truly good men, HE GErs
CHEATED.
When he is determined, in old age
to give himself no rest or relaxation
but work on, grasp.ng for more
more, more, he GETS CHEATED.
When he has money enough tc
satisfy any reasonable being, anc
should haul in his sail and devote
some of his best time and energie,
to doing good-but won't do it anc
works on--HE GETS CHEATED.
When he finds his hard earned
wealth is injuring both himself ant
family, that his children are growing
up in ignorance and idleness ano
they are all "good for nothing" tc
the world, it is evident that, ne uAs
BEEN CHEATED.
When his devotion to money ma.
king cost him restless nights, i'll
health, loss Of appetite, bad temper
envy and Jealousy, the growth O.
pride, idolatry of gold, stingy ol
sour disposition, and the hatred o,
Indifference Of good society, all W,
have to say is, even if he has gained
the whole world, HE HAS GOT ABoM
INABLr CHEATED.
Don't, therefore, pay too much fo
money. 1t will not furnish you al
you desire. 1t will not insure yo,
good health. 1t will not enrich you
mind. 1t will not enrich your heart
1t will not deliver you from danger
1t will not follow you beyond tn,
grave. 1t will not save your soul
Don't therefore, we pray you, il
getting gold sacrifice your princi
pies, your health, your friends, you
good name, the best interests of you
family, or your soul; for il you do
you ere cheated for tis@e and cheat
ed Tor eternity. Dox'r oHr cnhArED

How ImmigraL ts are swindled

CrScINNArI, August 23.-Complaint
having been made that immigrants at
Castle Garden were swindled by paper
resembling United States money but
called College currency, steps were taken
to find out its origin. 1t was found In
Jacob II Longs printing office, at Ham
ilton, Ohio, and quite a number of plates
were seized, and Mr.. Long warned to
print no more of 1t. The imitation of
United States money was close, especially
the back OF the note. The currency was
not Issued to deceive, but for use in bust
ness colleges, but swindlers found II con-
venient to use on strangers, and as the
statutes forbid the making OF any imita
tion of United States currency for any
purpose, the plates are contraband.

with an oath blazed away at his victim,

Staples was taken In custody and given a
cell In the county jail. He refused to give
any details, saying the victim could be
relied upon to give an explanation. Mr..
